Here's the real problem

[Asteria]

Fansy server was opened as a Fansy-friendly server that was supposed to be self-policed by PvP at level 6+

You ain't nothin friend...

First off, I love how you just were proved wrong and so you tried to move the goalposts lol. It went from there were no rules, to there weren't enough GMs to enforce the rules. Nice try.

What "days" are you referring to? If you're referring to the days soon after launch, there were no rules yet. It basically depended on the GM and server in question as to whether something was punishable and what the penalty was.

As the CSR team began to realize that things like kill stealing, training, and other forms of griefing were becoming prevalent, we got together with the goal of creating rules for uniform use across all servers. There were plenty of GMs and then Guides for rule enforcement. You clearly have no idea what you were talking about.

Rules were enforced daily...as I mentioned, I banned and suspended a large number of people as did everyone else on the CSR team (even had a crazy player try to sue me for banning them for multiple kill stealing and training violations). Usually the only reason someone might get away with something is if it only happened once or twice (i.e. they trained someone once, so it was obviously not ongoing when the petition was submitted); at the time, we were somewhat limited by technology (there weren't effective video recording methods like there are today, and so if it was a one time griefing and the person didn't admit it in the chat logs, it was difficult to prove). This technological issue for limited instances of griefing had nothing to do with whether rules were enforce or the number of CSR staff that existed.

That’s how we got such greats as Fansy the Bard:

That was a PvP server that was set up as essentially a no rules server lol. Fansy found a way to abuse even that which resulted in changing the mechanics of the server, which was a pretty impressive feat.

And these types of players are the ones who have no sense of community or decency as a member of the EQ community. 50's camping non-level appropriate is an issue. I love how you side step it.

Let's apply your logic shall we:

1.The mobs in the camp give me(and my group) exp, therefore since you are gettinng zero exp we have a right to it.
2. These mobs drop items appropriate to my level...so level 50 move please.


The issue is prick players and people not interested in building a solid community within the game. It's amazing how you defended these actions with such good political spin. I love the just move to uncrowded zone because you can get scrapes and pay that level 50 for camping the item that you could get yourself.... love it!

Yet again the issue of 45-50 players camping 30ish camps is being ignored. Yet again this type of behavior with no respect or concern for the community is being pardoned because...well they are 50 and they are entitled.

Why was a level 48 camping Trents in SK? Why was a level 50 camping Gnoll scrolls? Why was a level 47 camping the Oggie shaman in WK? Why was the Ancient Croc camped by a 45 warrior? I never remember seeing LGuk being camped by 50's until this merger. Really? You know why...these pricks want to action the items(or in the case of Trents make easy plat) vs helping the community level.

Either way, the lifeless ones will defend their actions because EQ is their spouse, their family, and sense of accomplishment in life.

-Dremias the Criminal is out!

Look, I also find it annoying when someone is cash camping, but that's the way the game is.

If you get to a camp and someone else is there before you, then its their camp, move along... you'll get more exp if you find another camp, than you will coming to the forums to cry about it.

You still haven't posted what class/level you are, and what camp it was that got your knickers in such a twist....
